I went back and visited the Turner Street Parking garage site again to see if there was any progress made from the last time I had visited; there wasn't much of a difference from the last time. The main difference was that you could see that Holder was stepping up its excavation and grading process, there were more men and more pieces of equipment on site today then their were prior. The price of this job must have increased a lot due to the man power because of the increase of men and equipment on site. I wonder how much thought and time goes into allotting men and equipment for a project; do you put all your men and equipment on site for say a week or do you slowly bring men and equipment on over a three to four week period? This is something that I guess is up to the contractor, the scheduling, and the immediate budget for the job. Attached is the daily log form from today and a photo of some of the equipment and work being done.
12-5-11 Daily Log Report (Reddick Construction) Turner Street
This photo is taken from the McDonald's side of the site, allowing a different view of the site. You can see here just a glimpse of all the work going on currently. What you cannot see in the photo is the the caisson company or the utility company finishing up.
This site is always an interesting one to visit because so much is going on at any given time. The site allows you to see mainly at this time the movement and grading of the earth. The finished grade of building slab appears to have dropped multiple feet from the existing roadway on Turner street; when the building is completed I am assuming there will be one entrance (for cars) near the "Chu-Chos" building and that the rest of the building will be storefronts much like that of Kent Square Parking garage. It will be interesting to see what the face of the building looks like when it is completed.
